Celebrating Our Aunt Connie and Uncle Ben...


After Connie's Marathon Walk in Boston to raise money for Cancer Research. 

Connie and Ben have been co-hosting the boys since 2008-09 when Alex and Peter arrived in Rumford. We've had a lot of good times over the past decade. They live just four houses up the street. Connie taught elementary school and then substitute taught at the high school. Ben has happilyretired to grandfathering Luke after many years of work in the paper mill. Here are a few of my favorite pictures of Aunt Connie and Uncle Ben.

Peter and Alex, 2009
William and his family, including his twin brother Fred, came to visit the summer after William's exchange. At the same time, Alex (2008-09) and his twin brother, Jonathan, came to visit and hike. Twins galore! We had a lot of good moments during these visits in the summer of 2017.  Below, is a picture of William and his family on my new porch-in-progress. They helped christen it. And, then, The Wagners liked the porch so much, they had one built on their home in Denmark!
